I hope you have little room for terror, for fright, for fantastic and altogether phantasmagorical ideas. That's what this edition of the Ear Candy Update is about. It is an ode to these movies on the surface, but underneath, 20,000 fathoms underneath, lies a different story. It is a story about what this music can do to you, how it makes you feel and what it does to your mood. If you get a little jumpy, we have achieved our goal. If you double check over your shoulder when you walk up the stairs or seek out a flashlight to pierce the darkness, we have done our job. We are the things that go bump in the night. You're welcome.

This Ear Candy Update's premise is simple: Turn the tables on sorrows. It's a fact that when sorrows come they come not in single spies but in entire battalions. They come when you're weak and vulnerable. I'm not feeling weak at the moment but I am vulnerable. Be that as it may, it's damn-the-torpedoes time. I'm launching an offensive on those demons. I'm going to pick a fight and I'm going to win.

This is shout music, growling and howling at the moon music, fucking music, boogie down music and music to put it between the ditches by. This is for those of us who treat that perilous line between choosing and accepting fate. There is no existential pleading of the inner heart here. This is cacophony as revelation, bent over the devil's anvil. This is an anthem, a roll call for hope and perseverance.
